Swan Lake

SINCE we first saw it at Sadler’s Wells in 1995 Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake has acquired almost legendary status. It has conquered the West End and Broadway, winning the top awards; it has travelled the world and given almost 900 performances; and it has confirmed Bourne as one of the most significant figures working in dance today.

And, remarkably after all that, its lustre is undimmed. Its tenth anniversary production is breaking records at the Wells — it has taken more than £1.5 million at the box office — and Tuesday’s opening night was a triumph.
